[Hallicrafters] SNOW

[Rick Angers]

After 140 some odd years, I still can't fathom that these
people still hold a grudge. Can't bury a hachet I guess!!!
  I have travelled around the globe (courtesy of the US
Navy) and if I wasn't called "American", I was called a
"Yankee." Whether your from Maine or Hawaii, Alaska
or Florida, YOU are a damn YANKEE!!!

By the way I'm from Maine. If you want to conduct this bias and prejudice 
crap don't do it on a party line.

Rick, KD0BYJ
